The JISC funded ES-LoA project
would like to consult with service and
identity providers and Grid/e-Science
community for their views on using a
risk-based authentication and
authorisation scheme. Such a scheme, built
on top of open standards based middleware
such as Shibboleth, would take
into account the level of confidence in
users' identification through
their identity and attribute assertions
when deciding whether or not to
permit access to a particular
resource.
May I invite you to take the time
to answer the ES-LoA Survey questionnaire, available
from http://www.es-loa.org/output, by Friday
8th June 2007 - you can either fill in the questionnaire on-line, or
download a copy and email
your response
to es-loa@manchester.ac.uk.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
